Introduction to Web Publishing ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Students will learn current HTML and CSS and acquire the knowledge needed to create and mount a web page. Students will explore topics in communication (audience, purpose, content development and copyright), design (style, layout, human factors in computing and accessibility) and technology (use of web development tools). Through readings, comparative review of web sites, and reflective writing and discussion, students will develop concepts of what makes an effective web site. As an integrating project, each student will plan and create a website as a final project. Notes: Students must have regular access to a personal computer with access to the web, a text editor, and a web browser. HTML and CSS are “markup” languages, not programming languages; this course does not satisfy the criterion for “programming” in any of the guidelines. This course was previously SMT-271354 Introduction to Web Publishing with HTML.
